The Dog Who Walked on the Stars
9.99 €
72-year-old Ingrid, grieving the death of her husband, travels halfway across the country to visit relatives with her golden retriever, Roshi. But while visiting, another tragedy befalls her: Roshi runs away and, frightened by fireworks and a pack of stray dogs, becomes hopelessly lost. Alone, Ingrid returns home, where she now mourns both her husband and her dog.
However, loyalty is no barrier to distance: Roshi is determined to find Ingrid and will not give up until he returns to his most important friend. Roshi spends almost a year on the road, continually meeting people who help him. These people are very different – those who are prosperous and those who have been battered by life, those ready for change and those who have given up on themselves. And they all have something to learn from the determined and life-loving dog, who is rightly called Roshi, an "old master" in Zen Buddhism: sometimes he understands them better than they do themselves, and he never refuses to help those in need.
Anna Solyom lives in Barcelona, where she practices psychosomatic therapy. Her first novel, "Neko Café: The Rules of Cats," has been translated into twenty languages. Her second novel, "The Dog Who Walked on the Stars," is already published in fourteen countries. It is a story inspired by true events about loyalty, wisdom, kindness, and the possibility of happiness.
